Context of Jeremiah 29:13
11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. 12Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.” 15Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
